Tired? Understatement of the day. I managed to stay up last evening and watch my Penguins play Detroit in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Detroit was up 3-1 in the series and the game was played on Detroit ice. All the signs pointed to a quick sweep by the Red Wings and another disappointment for the Penguins. But then, with about 35 seconds to play in the 3rd period, Maxime Talbot banks in a shot over Chris Osgood to tie the game at 3 goals each. From there, it was a fast paced blur that would run 3 more periods and finally see the Penguins scoring a goal by Petr Sykora (who told them he was going to score in the 2nd intermission of OT) and came through with it. Sudden death overtime, fast paced hockey and no sleep. Was it worth it? Absofreakinlutely!!! Would I stay up and watch it again. 100% yes. Game 6 is Wednesday night on our home ice and hopefully we will win Game 6 and force the Game 7. Life is good, hurray for hockey.
My 3 favorite teams:
1. Dallas Stars
2. Colorado Avalanche
3. Anyone playing the Red Wings
Go Pens!
I watched that game and I was as gutted as you was.
As for Dallas stars LOL… dont start me on that
